AFOY Round 3 and overall Winner revealed!

The theme for the final round of AFOY was ‘Love’ and, as usual, the interpretation of that theme was quite varied. Overall we were looking for a combination of interpreting the theme, excellent visual and audio technique, as well as a compelling video that held our interest.

Our three judges have awarded points to their favourite 10 videos, and when teh points are added up, the winner is Gavin John, for his video Always and Forever.

The judges had a hard time deciding the winner, as the video in second place was the excellent Picture House, by Daniel Bradshaw. As runner up Daniel wins a Canon Legria Mini X, worth £329.99
